Viva, Rising Circle Ranch!


Joined at the hip, head, and heart, my co-founders Christine, Jaff and I have been dreaming about this day for maybe a half-dozen years. We imagined we might grow beyond our Baja beachfront campus one day.

We officially will open our 2,566-acre Rising Circle Ranch today for our first on-campus Santa Fe workshop. The crown for first Santa Fe workshop goes to our “In-AWE-gural” cohort – their great name – who experienced our Spirituality + Health workshop at the nearby Chi Center a month ago. Starting today, award-winning musician Michael Franti is leading a sold-out workshop on Finding Rhythm in Midlife and Beyond. We’re gonna be groovin’ all week long under the enchanting skies of Santa Fe.

What a glorious campus our team has created (special thanks to our partner Skylar who has taken the lead on the design and development of the property) with two retreat centers, dozens of hiking trails, equine assisted learning, regenerative and education, and an experience dedicated to discovering our “deep nature.” Our Hospitality leadership duo – Gail and Sarah – have assembled a team that will rival our much-loved Baja crew. And, our exclusively-local designers, artists, contractors, landscapers, and other craftspeople have created an exquisite place for people to celebrate MEA’s heralded approach to long-life learning. It’s not exactly done yet, so we’re excited to see on-going progress each week the rest of the spring.

I hope you’ll consider joining us soon although our first three workshops are all sold out, so I’d highly recommend that you sign up for the next one available which features the world’s leading expert on flow Steven Kotler – along with me and Christine – June 10-15Just remember that flow is to your mind what exercise is to your body – it’s particularly essential as we age. Or you’re welcome to review all of our workshops in Santa Fe for the balance of this year: click on Santa Fe.

There are all kinds of people I haven’t mentioned here who also deserve credit and I look forward to hugging each of you in the next few weeks. Thank you!
